The report is the most assuring sent in of recent years. ��������� The president, Ht.-Col. F. C. Henehaw, in presenting his address gave a detailed statement of the past year's operations and com-, mented highly,of the management of Mr. A. C. Garde. Particular attention was called to the finding of the ore bodies in No. 8 tunnel. This work had been carried on for three years unsuccessfully and had been abandoned. Last year Mr. Garde persuaded tlie directors to let him start work again, and consent being given the manager commenced tunneling on a plan of his ovrn, and relocated the main orebody in No 8 several months ago, thereby proving the depth of the mineral and giving permanency to the mine. The president in reading the report said in his address : VThis year.your directors are pleased to be able to state at last, tunnel N0.-.8 has reached the ore body. With the discovery of ore in No. 8 and the opening of a market for our zinc, your dir- ( ectors consider that the prospects of the mine are bright. No time will lie lost in proceeding with the develop-, mentot the mine below No. 8 tunnel,' and it is the intention of Mr. Mathyp; one of your directors, to visit lhe mine shortly to discuss this matter with the manager, Mr. Garde." The refusal of the govenment to raise the tariff on lead and its' products was brought, before the meeting and considerable comment thereon followed. The successful year's run of the concentrator and tlie addition of the zinc plant wore also favorably disciiFf-ed. Manager Garde's assuring report, ns near detail aa possible, is as follows: level no. 6. . For the past year thir> level has been extended 245j^ feet ahead and how measures 543)^ from station N0.I6 to the face. This level canoe into ore in the early part of 1902, when it was followed for a distance of 160 feet, where an upraise was.made to connect with a winze which had previously been sunk on the vein to a depth of 60 feet from the floor of tunnel No. 6. The ore chute was proved all the way, thus blocking out on three sides. While timbers and chutes were put in for stoping purposes, the face of No. 6 level was: driven 215 feet further ahead proving the ore to continue for additional 90 feet. The total length of ore-body expoeed in this level, is, therefore, 260 feet, showing an average width of two feet. The height of this block when measured on thedip, , . through the connecting winze is 125, with approximately the same average thickness of yein, while the top measure- 1 ment along the footwall of tuiinel No. not nearly so good as in No. 6 . After driving through the above mentioned ore-body.in No. 6,, development work was continued for. 125 feet, proving the"vein, but not the values. A very hard quartz dyke made its appearance here, and it was .decided, to idis- contiriue driving ahead for a while, and undertake sinking on the .vein. 'This was done by starting a ,prospect winze No. 1 at a point 120. feet from Btatiori No. 6. Sinking here proved very satisfactory and the ore shoot was followed to a depth of 50 feet. By that time it was considered a better, plan, to put an upraise through from level No. 7 and make connection. This plan was carried out as described further on, under "Level No. 7." In reference to the quality of ore met with in level No. 6 and winze*.No.. 1, I found it to be galena, disseminated with spathic iron (siderite) and zinc-blende considerably above the 10 per cent, zinc limit allowed by the smelters. Although of high grade, this ore under preeent conditions, must be regarded as, a concentrating ore, in which lenses of clean shipping ore are found. level no. 7. This level was started in May, 1903, and driven ahead for a dietnhce of 278 feet from station No. 7. The vein- was of other fault-fisBiires observed in upper levels, and caused me to believe that by following same in a south-easterly direction the vein would be recovered. A sharp turn was therefore made, and for two months a crosscut driven straight ahead alongside of theabove mentioned faulting wall, until the main vein on February 1st, this year, was suddenly encountered laterally within a distance of 98J:;< feet from the turning point. As soon as the heavy flow of water, which was struck at' the Bame time, had run' out, drifting on "the vein in both directions , was Btarted. and at the ��������� present' time, the east drift .is 60 and the west drift 61 feet from discovery point, ln both drifts the vein has been followed all the way for a total distance of 121 feet, without showing any Bi'gns of particular disturbance in the formation. I may add that it was rather unexpected to find the vein extending both ways inasmuch as the main fault in all upper levels heretofore had beencutting the vein off towards the north east, and therefore limited the ore within the ore zone towards southwest. In reference to the rein I ean say that it has the appearance of a strong and well defined ledge with a strike of ���������north-'67-, degrees east._; It"shows-two followed nearly from the start, showing f(1.'8tinctwa'ls?.and has approximately the a good width, but at the same time low values, consisting mainly of siderite and a small percentage of zinc blende. It could reasonably have been ex; pected that the ore body, which had shown up so well in level No. 6, and in winze No. 1, would have reached down to level No. 7, but when it did not do so, I ci-ncluded to start an upraise at a point directlyunderwinzeNo. 1, 140 feet from station, for the purpose of connecting and at the same time exploring tlie intermediate ground. ��������� This proved a good plan, for within a few feet of the level two feet of good ore was struck, and.followed all the way until winze No. 1 was reached and connection made. This distance represents 110 feet 011 the dip of vein. Two short raises havesince been put through from No. 7, meeting the ore shoot and blocking out a triangular section of ground. . -.TUNNEL NO.'8. ��������� The length of tunnel No. 8 from portal to present working faces, including all cross-cuts and drifts is now 1,763>������ feet. Of this distance 435 feet hare been driven during the past year. Shortly after the freshet season in August, development'work was resumed in the main tunnel in search of the vein. One hundred And thirty-six feet were driven towards south-west, through a hard siliceous slate formation until a point directly under No. ,7 level was reached. No features of encouragement showed up until at this place a faujt-fissure with an approxjmatestrike of north-west' arid south-east, or nearly right angles to the main tunnel was intersected. This fissure, which afterwards led to the discovery of the vein, consisted of a single perpendicular wall, showing traces of severe movements. On this wall was bedded two inches of oanie dip-as the vein ii. 6 and 7" levels , Ic is an extent ion of themnin vein and proves the Payne mine to a depth of900 feet below the apex. My impression is that we have entered the top of a new important ore shoot. The vein is wider and shows a higher grade of ore in the floor than in the roof of the drifts. In the drifts the vein is principally composed of concentrating ore of good grade and;of similar physical character as in the ground above. Kb average width is 2 1-2 feet, showing in several' places swellings of the vein. Until.more work is done I could hardly pred jet the tonnage or the grade of ore thatin time will be produced from the vein above or below No. 8 tunnel, and have, therefore, not included it under "Ore Reserves" further on, but it bids fair to say that the discovery of pay ore in the vein, after a three years search, is highly gratifying and of special,importance as to future ore reserves aud possibilities of the Payne mine. .;���������' PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WORK. With the encouraging prospects of finding ore in lower levels it would bo extremely dereirable to consider the question of exploring the mine below tunnel No. 8. One commendable plan would ������e to continue tunnel No. 8 for abou 1300 feet toward s wee t, u n ti 1 d i redly Under the crest of Payne mountain, *nd at this point to sink acentralshaft, approximately 350 feet deep, from where three new levels Nob. 9, 10 and 11 could be driven. The.reeults would undoubtedly be the opening of new ore reserves within two years, at which time tlie present ore reserves probably would be exhausted. To accomplish this itwould be necessary to install an electric hoist over the shaft, together with an ade quate pumping plant, also driven by electric power. If this plan was adopted it would be necessary to increase the present power plant by installing a sub- power station at Carpenter creek, where the company now holds water rights to the extent of 500 miners inches. A plant of thia kind could be conveniently operated in conjunction with the present power plant and pole line to the mine, as this feature was taken into consideration last year, when installing the present plant! ORE IN BIGHT, STOPE FILLINGS, DUJIPS, ETC From last year.s report it will be observed that the estimated total tonnage of back fillings contained in old- etopes at the mine, together with the dumps, etc., amounted to approximately 100,000 tons,'which may be accepted as a correct figure. Of this tonnage one-third, or 33,000 tons, has been successfully concentrated in the mill during the past year, thereby leaving a reserve of 67,000 tons on hand. With the increased concentrating capacity', this can all be milled within the next twelve months, and will at the Bame ratio of concentration preduce about 2,000 tons of high grade silver-lead concentrates, and4,000 tons of 60 percent, zinc-blende. To this reserve might be added the estimated quantity of concentrating ore found in other parts of the mine amounting to about 20,000 tons, which on account of being of a higher grade than the fillings will require about six months to concentrate. From the above it will be seen that a total reserve of 87.000. tons of concen: trating materialis available, aleo that under favorable conditions this can be concentrated during eighteen months of continuous operation. It ia, howevpr, more likely to cover a period of two years, especially if there should be more material on hand in old stopes and dumps than estimated. RECAPITULATION OF ORE RESERVES. During the past two months the London lead market has advanced approximately 25 per cent, over quotations for the balance of the year, and you are now getting $60 per ton, net smelter returns, for silver-lead concentrates, with present prices of silver 49c. per oe., and lead $2 per cwt. (smelter settlement.) This valuation is, therefore, figured in the following estimate of total ore reserves. Improvements in the concentrator and the benefits that will bederived from the now Magnetic Zinc Sepaiating Plant has also been considered in the same estimate. Furthermore it would seem that the Dominion government necessarily will have to decide on placing an adequate import duty on lead for the protection of the Canadian lead industry. The government can hardly disregard the united petitions from a eec- tion of the Dominion that under favorable conditions, is able to add more than any other part of Canada, to its general wealth. - In the United States the lead producer is now receiving $3.90 per cwt. against $2 (or less) in Canada. With your 60 per cent, lead ore, equal to 1,200 lbs. of lead, this price brings $24 per ton. less 10 per cent, loss in smelting or a total of $21.60. From this amount a (Continued on Third Page.) THE MINING REVIEW���������Saturday, May 23, 1903. The Mining Review. SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1903. J. L. PARKER AND THE SMELTERS The Ledge last week effectively replied to J. L. Parker, manager of the North Star mine in East Kootenay, for his remaiks against that paper, in reference to smelter rates, at a public meeting held recently in Nelson. While we do not approve of the phrases used, especially coming from a would-be preacher, nevertheless the statements are substantially correct. Mr. Parker's utterances at the meeting at which he gave the Ledge a calling down, are completely at variance with the statements of some of the Slocan mine owners. At the meeting held in this city on May 4th, the smelter rates, which is a seriou- and soro question with the silver-lead producers, came up for discussion. It was pointed out that although the price of lead had decreased the past three years, the smelter rates had increased $7 during that period. The rates prevailing in the Joplin and Tennesee districts acioss the border, were brought forward by men who are in a position to know, and a comparison made between them and rates in force in British Columbia. The result was one of the moat glaring cases of injustice imagineable. In the southern districts the smelters purchase the ore in the bin at the mine, ship it themselves, smelt, refine and market it at the ruling prices, and the amount paid the miner, transportation companies, the cost of smelting, refining and the price aJd on the market, all these combined would not near total what .the Slocan mine owners pay for freight and tieat- ment charges alone in British Columbia. These facts were brought cut at the last meeting, and the greed of the Canadian smelters in trying to secure tbe lion's share of the proposed bonus was severely condemned. The above statements were made by persons who know as much, from sad experience, if not more, than Mr. Parker does, and if the Joplin and TenneBee companies can make money after paying freight rates and bearing all cost in the mfcnufactuie and marketing of the refined product, what must be the profit of the Trail and Hall Mines smelters which charge more for freight and treatment alone! If this is not a smelter graft we would like to know what is. Mr. Parker may know something about the emelter rateBof the low grade properties, such as he manages in East Kootenay. but from his own assertion he knows very little about the rich Slocan mines. The former carry lead with little if any silver values, while the latter are rich in silver and carry a high percentage of l������ad. The Slocan mines on account of the high values they contain are charges excessive rates by the Canadian smelters, and if there was tbe least pretext to increase the present rate, the smelters, from past experience, would not hesitate to do so, and squeeze all they possibly can out of the mine owners, despite all that J. L. Parker may say to the contrary. TheGrnnby Smelting Company, of Grand Forks, will shortly manufacture their own coke. -They have taken a bond on some coal measures near Blair- more,. Alberta, and organized the International Coal & Coke Co., under the laws of the State of Washington. The new company, which is really a branch of the Granby, will be conducted by itself. It capitalization is $3,C00,C00 in as many shares of pleach, llieeoal lands acquired cover an area of'"seven miles, and contain nine eeams, half of which have boen thoroughly prospected. These deposits will be developed at once and the construction of coke oven nearby commened without delay. The secret of smelting the low grade ores of tbe Boundary is cheap fuel. The Crow's Nest Coal company recently increased the price of its product 25 cent.* a ton. This coupled with the curtailing of fuel supply during the late strike, seriously handicapped the smelters It is to prevent a similar occurence the new coin- It is a laudable ambition to reach the top of the ladder of success. But many a man who reaches the topmost rung finds his position a torment instead of a triumph. He has sacrificed his health to success. A man can suc- ceed and be strong if lie heeds Nature's warnings. When there is indigestion, loss of appetite, ringing ' in ..the ears, dizziness, spots before the eyes or palpitation of the heart; any or all of these symptoms point to weakness and loss of nutrition.

It is with considerable gratification that I am able to state to you that the concentrating plant completed on the 1st of May, 1902. has been an unqualified success from the start, even with the extremely low prices that have governed the metal markets during the entire year. Referring to my special report and estimate on concentrator plant, of November 3rd, 1901, submitted for your approval prior to erection, you will find by comparison with the actual work performed:��������� - First:���������That the ratio of concentrating lillings has been 32 tons into 1, which is better than estimated, ami that the tonnage of concentrates produced has consequently be increased in the eame proportion. Second:���������The estimated mill capacity of 125 tons per ������������������twenty-four hours, has been exceeded by 35 tons. Third;���������In regard to the value of concentrates. These were based on silver at 57%c. per.ounce,.but during the year this price depreciated to 40c, nevertheless the smelter returns show the average price received,from smelter to be $40.11 or equal to the estimated price, which is due to the higher grade of concentrates produced in the mill. In place of averaging 94 8-10 baa. of silver and 54 per cent, lead to the ton, the average has been 103.8 ozs. silver, and No 8.

The machinery comprising roasting furnace, magnetic separators, screens, elevators, fine rolls, etc., will be placed in a building 40 feet wide by 60 feet long. This building is a west ������nd extension of the present concentrator. The finished product wh'ch will run approximately (30 per cent, zinc, and 16 to 20 ozs. in silver, will contain only a small percentage of iron, and less than 2 per cent' in lead. ' With the prospects of being able to produce 6,000 tons or more of zinc from present ore reserves in the mine, during there seems hardly any doubt that pre vious records can be surpassed, providing prices come up again, as the tendency appears now. .MAGNETIC '/ASC SKIM RATING PLANT. (Mow tinder construction.) Until recently all zinc ores in IheSlo- can. whether associated with galena or founrl otherwise, had been entiiely disregarded and neglected as a mineral of any value. In the upper ore-zones only a small quantity of zinc-blende is generally associated with the galena, on which the smelters in the earlier days, placed no penalties. Different conditions existed in a number of the mines located at lower altitudes, where the galena was highly disseminated with a zinc-blende that carried good silver values, but nevertheless could not be sold to advantage and was therefore avoided. An attempt was made a few years ago to ship 1,500 tons of zinc to Swansea, England, but stranded on account of the sudden death of the promoter. After this unsuccessful efi'ort the zinc ores were left on the dumps, or went through tlie tail races as so much waste. In the meantime the percentage of (proves the silver-lead product, and adds the zine-blendo as a valuable by-product. I can furthermore assure you that the extra cost of concentration���������including a legitimate loss of values in milling��������� is readily offset by the lesser cost of mining, and expensive handsorting in the stopes. All concentrating ore will hereafter be extracted from wall to wall, regardless of high or low values, andnomater- ial that pays to concentrate will be permitted to remain in the mine or go to the dumps. Hand-sorting of clean ore w,ill not be done in the mine as heretofore, but in broad daylight at the concentrator, befoie entering the mill. This constitutes a part of the crusher- man's duties. Prior to sorting, all fine the next . eighteen or twenty-four material is screened out througl months, I am able to predict a bright future for zinc, audit will be readily Been that the revenues from this byproduct from now on will be an important factor to contend with. ��������� h a spec- zinc kept increasing in the galena in 60 per cent, in lead, thus making up for | nearly all the mines, and necessitated the lower metal quotations. The net j the smelters placing a JO per cent, limit earnings of concentrator were$35,706.06, plus $3,000 for value of zinc on hand, equal to $38,706.06. If prices had remained staple in place of going down,' on.zinc, with a penalty of 50 c. per unit above same. In a number of instances the penalty was severely felt, as only a few mines were in a position to keep REVIEW OF PAST YEAR. In regard to the future of the Payne mine 1 shall forbear from making promises that necessarily will have to depend on future developments, as well as fair prices for silver, lead and spelter. At the same time I. beg leave to call your attention to certain' features '.that compare favorably with conditions three J years ago. At that time tunnel No. 5 had little or no ore exposed in the floor, while today the main vein with pay-ore has been proved to a depth of 360 feet below No. 5, and 900 feet below the apex.

The net ton nage of silver-lead concentrates produced wan 1247. The gross tonnage put through the mill was 40,028 tons. The estimated tonnage in reserve is approximately 87,000 tons, thus the concentrator will have a supply on hand for not leBs than eighteen months and more probably two years. One difficulty experienced in operating was shortage of water during two months of the dry eeason, which held the capacity and efficiency of the mill back to some extent, and for a short time the mill could only be run on one shift. This feature will be overcome before the dry season sets in this year, are concerned While construct ing ymir, concentrator iii fall of 1901, provisions were made to eave zinc values, and an accumulation of several hundred tons of 43 to45 percent bunded arrangement of minerals, is both characteristic and lavorable for deeper prospecting. Lean strata such as found in all mines, and of Which No. 5 tunnel is an example, must be expected, also a hard formation, which will have to be counteracted,by the exclusive U6e of power drills; "'"Subterranean water, will no doubt, make its appearance further down, but can be overcome. Zinc-blende is now disseminated with the galena to afar greater extent than heretofore, and one of the most important features of the past year has, therefore, been the happy solution of concentration and separation of zinc-blende from the galena, whereby a valuable byproduct is added. I have mentioned zinc co centrales .were made hPtween elsewhere that the constantly inereas- Jiuie 1902 and January 1903, with the hopes of securing a market. This lot has now been dispoPed of in Kansas and netted over $8,300. You will readily appreciate that this first attempt in the zinc business was fairly good for a starter, when remembered that the zinc wjs produced as a mere by-product. In the meantime I found by careful experiments and tests that a far higher ve, - ��������� , , ���������> [ K''ade of zinc-blende can be made bv mv- * .������ty miners inches of water have re- ing the ores a slight roast, whe eby the cently been granted ns, made up partly (spathic) iron is partlv onverSf i^o from an adjacent stream, and partly > an oxide of iron, in which form it hi from mine, water running out of tunnel comes an artificial magnetite, and can ing percentage of zinc seriouely threat ened to increase penalties imposed by the ���������melters, but with the present system of milling it will readily be seon that this feature has been entirelyover- come. All ore of a complex nature can now be concentrated into a silver-lead I product of an even higher grade than the former clean shipping ore, whilethe zinc-blende is yielding a by-product of a high commercial value. By having the preaent complete and successful concentrating plant installed and paid for, together with the Magnetic Zinc Separating plant, now under construe- ial trommel while large pieces of ore and waste are sorted out by the crusher- tender, thereby accomplishing a mater-' ial saving. I am quite convinced that the ensuing year, bj'' the above method of mining and concentrating, together with the introduction of additional machine drills will show a material reduction of all operating expenses. In presenting my report for the fiscal year 1902-3,1 desireto state that it has been my earnest effort to submit an unbiased and thorough representation of existing conditions. On behalf of the B. C. management I beg to tender my respects to the presj- dentand board of directors for their ardent support, which under local difficulties always proved a source of rare gratification. I also wish to extend my thanks to Mr. Sam F. Parrish, E. M., tor his professional viflits to the mine, and coin-, oiding expressions, as well as my appreciation of the able assistance rendered by Mr. George F. Ransom,' accountant, Mr. Joseph J.

Local News Notes. More men were added to the force at Rambler this week. ' P. II. Murphy, formerly of the Filbert, is back again to town. Mayor Grimmett is fixing up around his ranche near Slocan lake. J. M. Harris is expected . to return 1 from Virginia the coining week. All miner's licenses expire in about a week. Don't fail to renew yours before it is too late. The miners unions of thp Crow's Nest collieries have withdrawn from the Western Federation and joined the United Mine Worker? of America, one of the strongest organised labor bodies in the world. Many will be pleased to know that Rev. R. J. Mclntyre has been retained in charge of the Methodist church here by the conference held in Victoria the past week. Rev. A. M. Sanford, formerly of "this city, is transferred from Rossland to Nanainio. There is much grumbling in town at the clerk of the weather, but there are others who have a kick coming. Ten feet of snow fell in parts of Montana last Wednesday, and the C. P. R. had to use a'"rotary to cl������ar the snow off the track neir Frank early in the week. The latest paper to enter the journalistic world is the "Despatch," published in the new town of Morrissey Mines. It is n neat, newsy 5-column 8 page print, with patent inside, and is devoted to interests of the Crow'sNest coal mining districts. Tlie Despatch starts out with a liberal advertising patronage, and the Review wishes it every suecesp. A waterwheel, which furnishes no power, has been placed in position at the mouth of the flume, near the Ivoo- tenay hotel. A rubberneck the other day inquired of a bystander what it was put there for, and was told "Just to keep the water moving." However, it looks as if the wheel will shortly follow suit. The water is increasing in volume bringing down rocks is quantity, and tlie slivers now* are flying in the air. Rev. Father Cote left on Wednesday for his new field of labor, Blezard Valley, a French-Canadian, settlement, near Sudbury, Out. His departure from town ia regretted by many, irrespective of denomination. On Tuesday evening Father Cote was presented with a purse and address by St. Joseph's congregation. The presentation was made by Mrs. T. Fox and the address read by Mr. Geo. McDonald, who on behalf of the parish expressed their regret at his departure. Father Cote was visibly affected and made a feeling reply, in which he thanked the donors for the appreciation shown for his services, and assuring his- hearers ��������� he would never forgot the kindness shown him while residing in Sandon. ���������COMMUNICATIONS. From Geo. Huston, secretary of the 6ehooi board, asking for payment of a small accouut-which had been paid by them for shoveling snow around the school. His request was ordered filed and the clerk instructed to notify the board thataa the amount allowed for janitor work for the month during which the liability was incurred has already been paid they could not legally allow the account. From Macdonald & Johnstone, solicitors, stating a writ had already been issued against G. M. Sproat to recover tax money due the city. From Geo. Waite, asking for a ten days'leave of absence extending from June 10th to the 20th inst. The request was granted. The report of the scavenger was received for the month of April. It showed collections to amount to $65. The city clerk was instiucted to proceed against all delinquent Traders License holders providing the raine have not been aettied for by the first day of June 1903. The council decided to take immediate action to have the phack and ' temporary fire hall removed. Tenders are to be called for the removal of the same as well as building a side walk in front of the K. & S. depot to connect, with the one in front of the Denver house, either separately or in conjunction.

THE MINING REVIEW���������Saturday, May 23, 1903. ���������0 Advantages of the Trans-Canada. To summarize the advantages of the Trans-Canada railway it may be said : It will be the shortest line from ocean to ocean by 370 miles. It will bo shorter than any other line from Liverpool to Japan by 720 miles. '������������������ Ita highest summit will only be 2,850 feet above tide, as compared with--.5,400 feet on the Canadian Pacific, and "8^242 feet on the Union Pacific,.and it- is expected to have much easier grades than any other transcontinental route'. It will ran altogether through Canadian territory, and will serve Canadian ports only, Quebec and Montreal in summer, and Halifax and St. John in winter, and on account of its .northern position this trade cannot be diverted to United States points. It will give breadth to'Canada, and will be an impregnable military line. -; '' It can be as quickly built as any other line, and by branch-lines and and connections will--give. Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and, Winnipeg a shorter route to the Pacific coast than any other. It will develop the new'back. country of Ontario and Quebec in the' James Bay territory, and will unite tide water of the St. Lawrence. It will give Mann & McKenzio's system on the Saskatchewan an outlet to the sea 400 to 500 miles shorter than their present route via Port Arthur. A Story With a Bad Moral. In a prosperous town in Mexico lives a merchant whose wealth grew ont of a combination of good luck and drunk- neas.- An uncontrollable deBire for drink cost him position after position, and he drifted down to Mexico and became a news agent. He sold lottery tickets. He had to report on drawing day what unsold tickets he had and forward them. He got drunk the day, before one of the big drawings: Two days ���������later he sobered up and found himself in posession of several hundred dollars' worth of unsold tickets. He did not possess $10 in the world. lie examined the list and found that a number of the unsold tickets had drawn prizes aggregating $35,000 in gold. He collected the Another shift was added, Monday to the two now already engaged in driving No. 5 tunnel-at the Star mine.' Rains and tbe difficulty ��������� of obtaining lumber on time is retarding construction on the Payne zinc plant. Assepsment work has been finished on the Rainy Day. The lead encountered is widening out and a good showing is exposed. - - ��������� ' Ore taken from the recent strike at the Silver King and which is being treated at the Nelson smelter is giving 200 oz. in "silver and 20 per cent, copper to the ton I' c Two very important strikes were made last week when ore was encountered in the lower workings of theSpecu- later-Arlingion mines. On the former the long tunnel has broken into six feet of the best ore yet located on the property'. The ore chute is principally concentrating, while along both walls are parallel rich streaks of native silver and sulphides. ' On the' latter, the Arlington, a one foot body of- sulphide ore was tapped in A tunnel, about 2600 feet from tho inouth of the drift and at 370.feet depth. Though smaller nones have been met with in this tunnel, this strike is the first pernament ore body cut. M. L. GRImMETT, EL. B."

A practical woman remarked the other day, says an exchange, that the most interesting things iii the newspapers to her are the' advertising columns, "Long ago," said she, "Iquit buying from those who did not advertise. It always seems to me that the merchant who advertises invitee me to trade with him, while theone who does not advertise impresses me wiidi the idea that he doesn't care 'enough, for my trade to ask for it. Then, too, I have found that the merchant who advertises has fresher goods, for the reason, I suppose, he sells more."
